<p>The minimum set of system requirements is reviewed in the <a href="Installation.html">
Installation</a> section. Installed .NET Framework is the only "must have"
software component that is required for CS-Script engine to run.</p>
<p>Notepad or any other text editor is a minimum toolset required to
create a script file. However development time and effort can be
significantly decreased if CS-Script is used in conjunction with any
sort of IDE.</p>
<p>
CS-Script files (.cs) can be opened with any supported
IDE/Debugger/Editor by using appropriate shell extension just with a
mouse right-click. Some of these shell extensions are installed by
default. To install/uninstall a particular shell extension a special
installation script (<i>debugger.cs</i> from the Script Library ) has to be
executed (see <a href="Script_library.html"> Script Library</a>).</p>
